Tablet XI: The Key to Above and Below
Excerpt
“As above, so below; as below, so above.”
Modern Breakdown
This Tablet echoes the great Hermetic principle. What occurs in the heavens mirrors the workings of the Earth, and what is awakened within mirrors the Cosmos beyond. By understanding the reflection, one can align both realms and become a bridge of light between spirit and matter.
Activation
I embody the harmony of above and below.
I am the meeting place of Heaven and Earth.
Below is the full text of Tablet 11, The Key to Above and Below:
Hear ye and list ye, O children of Khem, to the words that I give that shall bring ye to the Light.
Ye know, O men, that I knew your fathers, aye, your fathers in a time long ago. Deathless have I been through all the ages, living among ye since your knowledge began. Leading ye upward to the Light of the Great Soul have I ever striven, drawing ye from out of the darkness of night.
Know ye, O people amongst whom I walk, that I, Thoth, have all of the knowledge and all of the wisdom known to man since the ancient days. Keeper have I been of the secrets of the great race, holder of the key that leads into life.
Bring ye up, O soul of the morning, turn thy thoughts upward to the Light and to Life. Find in the keys of the numbers I bring thee, Light on the pathway from life unto life. Seek ye with wisdom. Turn thy thoughts inward. Close not thy mind to the flower of Light. Place in thy body a thought-formed picture. Think of the numbers that lead thee to life. Clear is the pathway to he who has wisdom.
Open the door to the Kingdom of Light. Pour forth thy flame as the Sun of the morning. Shut out the darkness and live in the day. Take thee, O man, as part of thy being, the Seven who are but are not as they seem.
Opened, O man, have I my wisdom. Follow the path in the way I have led. Masters of Wisdom, Sun of the Morning Light and Life to the children of men. Light is thine, O man, if thou wilt but choose it.
Thou art not but one with all things. One with the Great Light and one with the Universe. Find thou the Key within thee to the Earthly Kingdom. Command and be commanded by the powers beyond. Listen, O man, hear ye the wisdom. Seek the Light that flows into thee.
The knowledge and power is thine for the asking. Open thy flame to the Sun and the stars. Thou art not a separate part of the Earth. Thou art not a separate part of the Universe. Man is a moving flame in the essence of infinity. Thou art not of the Earth nor the Earth of thee.
Be the eternal Flame of the cosmos, Light in the path of thy brothers who stumble. Call ye the power of the seven lords. Invoke the Light. Invoke the Flame of the Sun. Breathe in the Light and thou shalt be the eternal one. Touch not the dark. Touch not the unseen. Let the light be your guide and the darkness your refuge.
O man, let the Light be thy guide. Seek out thy flame and let it shine forth from thee. Thou art the eternal flame of life. There is no death, for thou art eternal.
Know ye the secret of the Flame that is life. Thou art the fire that burns within the heart of the cosmos.
Live not in the shadow. Let the Light shine in the path of thy brothers.
Know ye the secret of the ever-living flame that is eternal life. Ye are not of the earth, O man, but the children of the Infinite Cosmic Light.
Closing Seal
So it is sealed — I stand as the bridge eternal.
“Step onward, Seeker, the Flame goes with you.”
